<h3><SPAN name="12">THE DIVINE IMAGE</SPAN></h3> To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,<br/> All pray in their distress,<br/> And to these virtues of delight<br/> Return their thankfulness. <br/><br/>For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,<br/> Is God our Father dear;<br/> And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,<br/> Is man, His child and care. <br/><br/>For Mercy has a human heart;<br/> Pity, a human face;<br/> And Love, the human form divine:<br/> And Peace, the human dress. <br/><br/>Then every man, of every clime,<br/> That prays in his distress,<br/> Prays to the human form divine:<br/> Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace. <br/><br/>And all must love the human form,<br/> In heathen, Turk, or Jew.<br/> Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell,<br/> There God is dwelling too. <hr width="150"><br/> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
